TT Electronics OPB9001 Reflective Optical Sensor

The TT Electronics OPB9001 PCB module takes the versatile and programmable OPB9000 reflective sensor and enhances its capabilities by integrating multiple features into a robust, small form factor for ease of use. The OPB9001 accepts a wide range of supply voltages from 3.3V to 30V and comes with built-in voltage protection for maximum flexibility and protection. An integrated, industry standard 4-pin Molex connector provides ease of connection while the onboard LED indicators provide overall status during power-on, output and calibration.

The OPB9001 is designed for portability in a variety of position and presence detect applications, with a small form factor (188mm x 12mm x 5mm) to fit in even the smallest application spaces.

The full-featured OPB9001AC includes a robust Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode to protect against harmful voltage spikes and is CE and UL certified for maximum reliability under any environmental condition. It is also capable of withstanding up to 8kV of contact discharge HBM.

Factory calibrated for a 12 mm distance and a white reflective surface the OPB9001 can be re-calibrated in a matter of milliseconds with a single command for specific application requirements. An interface cable can be purchased separately to calibrate the OPB9001 Series using the OPB9000-KIT.
